Casper Focus: can you see what app the student is currently using?

Is it possible to see what app the student is using with an iPad managed using Casper focus? In other words, would it be possible to see if Student A is using Facebook?

Thanks

I haven't used Focus yet, but from what I've heard from others and what I've seen in the demos you are able to see what app they are using. So yes you can see if they are using the Facebook app, but if they are accessing Facebook using a web browser like Safari then you would only see that Student A is using Safari (you can't see what website they are accessing).

Hey guys,

Just to further clarify this one: Casper Focus can show what app a student is using or "focused on" only if Casper Focus was used to focus them on an app. If a student simply launches an app like Facebook from the springboard, Casper Focus won't reflect that in it's interface.

We have a fairly comprehensive Q&A posted from the Casper Focus webinar at:

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks!
